""There is no way that the rainbows were there for the rain," Claire Wolfram, Susan's daughter, said two hours later on Twitter."

Umm. While a primary rainbow is visible when light is reflected once off the back of a raindrop, a secondary and usually dimmer rainbow is spotted when light is reflected twice in a more complicated pattern.

The colors of the second rainbow are inverted, with blue on the outside and red moved to the inside. The second bow appears dimmer or cloudier because much more light is released from two reflections, and both bows cover a larger portion of the sky.

It is rare and unlikely, but three or even four rainbows can be seen on occasion, but only if they are reflected off of the earthly objects.

My mother passed away from pancreatic cancer just a few weeks before Mother's Day last year. Just a little over a month passed from when they detected the mass until her death. About the only "good" thing about cancer is when it's quick.

Well that was a lot faster than the time The Notebook got me. Thanks a lot, Subby.

Everyone at the West Genesee girls lacrosse game on Thursday knewhad no idea what rainbows are or how they occur so they defaulted to a supernatural explanation saying thatSusan Wolfram was responsible for the double rainbow that stretched across the field.

Something tells me that West Genesee needs a more robust science curriculum.

My F-i-l went less than 72 hours from diagnosis to death. Similar story, couldn't eat more than ounce or two of food without feeling like he had over eaten. Went to the ER, was diagnosed, had one dose of chemo and passed later that night.

EViLTeW:octopied: Less than a month from diagnosis to death. Horrible.

Reflected rainbows are fairly common. True higher-order rainbows are not. This may be the first-ever picture of a quaternary rainbow (the faint one to the right of the tertiary rainbow, with the sun off to the left):

Several of my friends knew her through their kids at West Genny. I don't go for that "the rainbow was a sign" crap, but I was struck by how her death moved my friends, who are typically on the cynical side. She must have been an amazing person.

Her family and community seem like really good people. Yes, I know, SCIENCE!, but sometimes, it's the small things like this that are so significant and meaningful. It it were my mother, I would also want to believe and that's okay. She seemed like a wonderful woman.

/Its a christian school. Scientific fact has nothing to do with learning or teaching there.

I went to a Christian school. We had plenty of science. Or was I supposed to rank this out of 10?
